"Traffic in Italy ", the COMING SOON S/S 2009 video, is the second chapter of a series of short films. Season after season, COMING SOON will travel around different cities to express its philosophy through movements, starring the new generation of choreographers and dancers or performers. This second chapter is directed by Max Vadukul, working with choreographers duet Simone Sandroni & Lenka Flory, starring five performers, Eleonora Chiocchini, Daria Menichetti, Pietro Micci, Simone Sandroni and Heidi Strauss"

«Inner conflict and tension are the most interesting themes in our life so it made me think about how many cars are outside and how our personalities change due to the tension built by traffic jams. Italy loves its cars and Italians are passionate about the expression of body language, so... Simone Sandroni & Lenka Flory's style was perfect for my story. I think it is the complete opposite of my London film, strong and dramatic; this is fast and furious and has a surprise at the end. » Max Vadukul

In the past I have worked for one of the biggest names in denim which had for effect to make me somewhat of a denim geek, from cut and stiching  to durability and style ,It takes alot to Impress me..We won't even talk about fit!Needless to say it takes alot more then a celebrity following to make a denim brand stand out...

Current Elliot ,designed by Emily Current and Meritt Elliot,gets kudos because they created  a line of denim  that is not necessarily "trendy" but reflects the classic inspiration of  what a pair of jeans should be. ...The favorite,most comfortable thing to put on that  is  timeless and sexy...

After Duro Olowu wooed the world with his fantastic colorful and feminine  designs, the fashion world has been waiting for another sensation originating from Africa to take the Fashion world by storm...

His name Is Adeleke Sijuwade,a former model from Nigeria... yesterday HighSnobette got to preview his spring 2009 collection of womens wear called OLORI,at Pieces.

OLORI,Princess in Yoruba was born as Adeleke puts it" out of a series of unfortunate incidents" that made him realise that he was meant to dress women" He has been designing a men's a men's line for a couple of years now ,but his dresses,handmade in Nigeria keep on selling out  .

"the OLORI woman is you,her and every woman out there ,I am not consumed by a particular shape or type of  woman or a target market  a silhouette....I was inspired by Romance,Life,the beautiful colors of the Caribean and Africa.

Talking to Adeleke and his beautiful sister Ronke,you get the sense that creativity not only runs in the family,but that talent is something you either have  you don't..Adeleke is entirely self taught..

Rihanna performed in Italy this past week and the photogs snapped some shots of her out and about, hitting the stores with her crew. This is no casual day out shopping. Yes, the dress is cute and summery, but check out her perfectly coiffed hair, the tons of accessories (LOVE the necklace), the bangin' bag, but most of all the wicked shoes, which, okay, they look great, but are clearly designed for flossin' as opposed to any serious fashion hunting and gathering mission.

^^Why is it that the regular folk who hang with celebs always look snarlier than the talent? Relax, hun, it aint YOU they're trying to snap.

A couple of closer shots after the flip...

I always wondered what it would be like if all the streetwear brands we love had the means to advertise in magazines and television,If this ad by Kiser is a precursor of things to come I think we would be in store for creativity that is far from conventional...and definitely Buzz worthy...

Some of you with Psyc backrounds might be able to tell me why this tee by Modern Lovers ...Like all the others in this Unisex  collection are just Irresistible....
